first, exceeding MAX_ORDER makes to return NULL since linux 1.x. then
alloc_pages(MAX_ORDER) is wrong usage generally,
but we hope to allow following usage:

    page = alloc_pages(__GFP_nowarn, big-order)
    if (!page)
        page = alloc_pages(small-order)

It is the reason of __GFP_NOWARN check.
I guess ACPI don't need large `contenious' memory.
